Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "GSS24064 - Microsoft training" was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. This opportunity falls under the Training Services category and involves the provision of Microsoft Training for UK Research and Innovation across the United Kingdom. The procurement employed a limited method through a competitive quotation process, below the threshold. Initially valued at £50,000, the contract was first awarded on 8th April 2024, for a period from 10th April 2024 to 31st March 2026, later extended to 31st March 2027 with an increased value of £91,325. The procurement stage indicated in the latest update on 2nd April 2026 suggests the award stage, having been completed with supplier Feldman Limited T/A Brian Feldman and associates.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in training services that can offer comprehensive Microsoft training solutions. Organisations that can deliver quality training within stipulated timeframes should find this contract appealing, especially given the extension and increased budget which indicates a sustained commitment to the programme over an additional year. Business entities already established within the UK that are agile, responsive, and capable of scaling their services to meet the demands of UK Research and Innovation would be well-suited to compete for such contracts in the future. This opportunity highlights the potential for long-term partnerships with public sector organisations and sustained revenue streams through consistent delivery of specialised services.
